Right - it was obvious but entertaining parody. I hope the guy makes it a recurring bit. ---

Hmm, maybe this is an inside job—C-SPAN going for some ratings and recognition! ---

Frankly, I bet he doesn’t have a medical proxy. I think he believes himself to be invincible and immortal. I think that for a psychopath like him, even the thought of having a medical proxy would be seen and felt as a sign of weakness. \*\*\*Personally, I can’t wait for him to keel over. ---

I was thinking it was to the Iboagaine one but the stuff’s a halloicinogen.

The subject in question is already a monster, he just doesn’t consciously realize it. Sub- or unconsciously, though, I think he must have glimmers. ---

The latest feverish speculation about Trump’s health centers on a newly evident maculopapular skin eruption with crusting on the right side of his neck (detailed description provided for those who don’t want to look [at a picture](https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-79-displays-worrying-new-skin-condition/)). I picked up on this only because I wondered why “Shingles” was trending on Twitter. That seems to be the leading amateur diagnosis online, though I’ve also seen a reference to tertiary syphilis (nonsense, it would almost have to be _secondary_ syph). No one has mentioned crusted scabies or an allergic reaction to a miracle skin cream to hide wrinkles. If anyone asks Karoline Leavitt about it, she’ll probably say that it’s a mild skin irritation from other members of the Board of Peace giving him hugs for having stopped so many wars. ---

Ewwww… that’s ugly. And the stuff on his neck doesn’t look good either. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trump-is-dying/1022520.md?page=84) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trump-is-dying/1022520.md?page=86)
